Marvin and top navigation items

By jxs2151 on 20 Apr 2004 at 16:22 UTC

How does one hide the "automatically generated" top navigation links with the Marvin theme. I have tried adding the links I desire to the conf.php file only to find that apparently Marvin pays no attention to that.

I realize that I should probably move to a newer theme but I am almost done with this thing and will change themes later.

Anyone?

conf.php should work

Setting the $custom_links array in conf.php should modify the links in marvin. Put a line that looks something like the following in conf.php:$custom_links = array(l("Your First Link Name", "node/view/1"), l("Your Second Link Name", "node/view/2"));
If that doesn't work or you've decided you don't want the links at all, you'll need to edit themes/marvin/marvin.theme and comment out the lines containing theme("links", link_page())

Good luck.

Nothing....

I made the entry in conf.php, even restarted Apache. Is there anything that I should restart to have conf.php re-read?

Cached pages or the wrong file

Okay... first: I tried this myself, and the code I gave you apparently contained an error. You can't call the l() function from conf.php. Instead, you should try a slightly more old-fashioned approach:

$custom_links = array(
  "<a href=\"node/view/1\">Your First Link Name</a>",
  "<a href=\"node/view/2\">Your Second Link Name</a>");

That said, adding those lines to conf.php worked just fine for me... and adding the lines I gave you earlier should have created an error, preventing any pages from loading. conf.php is re-read for every page generation, so nothing should need to be restarted.

Therefore, the page you're seeing must either be (a.) a cached page from your browser or (b.) configured with a file OTHER than conf.php. So... clear your browser cache and look for other .php files in the includes/ directory. Is there one specific to your site name? If so, that's the one you should be editing, as that overrides conf.php.
